Finally a person who properly distinguishes Nazis and Neo-Nazis
What is the difference functionally?
See:
Nazism is fascistic antisemitism. In other words, you can’t remove antisemitism from Nazism and still have Nazism; you just have fascism. Nazism does not describe Trump/MAGA as so many people claim. Neo-Nazism is a much looser idealogy that applies Nazi philosophies to contemporary issues/societies/politics where antisemitism doesn’t have to be the central belief.
The term neo-Nazism describes any post-World War II militant, social or political movements seeking to revive the ideology of Nazism in whole or in part.
Neo nazism, to me, seems more concretely ‘antisemetic’. They’re modern Nazis looking to bring it back. When people call Trump supporters Nazis they’re just using it as a shorthand for fascist as the Nazis are the most infamous.
This is my interpretation as well.
New axis powers just dropped…
Also instead of “Neo Nazis”, which despite being an objectively true statement shuts normie ‘median voter’ brains off, call them something even more direct: Nationalist Christians (or Nat-Cs for short)
Hindutva… is that India’s Modi’s brand?
Yes:
Hindutva (/hɪnˈdʊtvə/; lit. ‘Hindu-ness’) is a political ideology encompassing the cultural justification of Hindu nationalism and the belief in establishing Hindu hegemony within India.[1][2][3][4] The political ideology was formulated by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in 1922.[5][6] It is used by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), the current ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),[7][8] and other organisations, collectively called the Sangh Parivar.
Inspired by European fascism,[9][10] the Hindutva movement has been variously described as a variant of right-wing extremism,[11] as “almost fascist in the classical sense”, adhering to a concept of homogenised majority and cultural hegemony[12][13] and as a separatist ideology.[14][15] Some analysts dispute the identification of Hindutva with fascism and suggest that Hindutva is an extreme form of conservatism or ethno-nationalism.[16]
